4 speed shifter boot - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting all the stuff I need to swap over to a granny 4 speed SM465 and the one thing I can't find is a shifter boot. It's not like a regular 4 speed out of a pickup I think, the shifter boot is set farther forward at the front of the tranny tunnel, not in the middle like other trucks. Also the shifter isn't straight, it's got a bend in it that goes up and to the left. If someone knows where I can buy one of these shifter boots new I'd appreciate it. Here's some pics of the boot retainer, shifter, and the knob.

Do you need one? I have a new one(order the wrong one) $15 plus shipping. I'll post a pic.

Yessir I'm looking for a new one. The one that was in the truck was almost gone when we got it.

Oh yea the shifter bend is correct, same thing in the c30 in my sig. On the 4wds w/ 4 spd the motor sits back and thus the shifter sits back. I have a 2wd 4spd shifter in my 71 K20 like it better than the single bend shifter in my 70 k25.

Yep that's the same one, it just looks a whole lot better!

The truck I pulled it from was a '72 GMC 1 ton flatbed with single rear wheels. The only problem is that the tip on the end of the shifter is loose and it had a lot of slop in it. I'll send you a PM.

Here's a shot of the shifter in the c30:
